What Forms Does Mortgage Fraud Take?

Mortgage fraud is a complex fraud charge that can come in a variety of different forms. These include:

  • Providing false information with an application
  • Providing documents with an application that is forged or altered
  • Inflating a property’s value to increase profits in resale
  • Equity skimming through mortgaging a property and renting it without making payments
